 what a rush,but those of you who need a little bit of reality and/or logic to their action might not like it February 20, 2008
this ,the 4th installment of the Die hard franchise is easily the most
thrilling and action packed.however,logic and reality are thrown out
the window for the action scenes.if you like your action with a little
bit of realty and logic,you won't like this movie.but for me,the movie
was so fun,i didn't care.but beyond being just a slam bang action
thrill ride it's also very relevant and thought provoking.if the
technology that society almost totally depend on were to completely
crash,how would you react,and hoe would the general public react.this
movie gives one hypothetical example of the answer to that
question.it's great to see this installment is geared more towards our
techno savvy contemporary audience.but it's also still great for
audiences that grew up with the franchise. not only is this a thrilling
and thought provoking movie,but it's also very funny,possibly the
funniest of all four movies.for me,Live Free or Die Hard is a perfect
5/5 for sheer excitement alone.the rest is just gravy.

John McClane is back and he's gone digital...
Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) is trying to scare America. He is a virtual terrorist... or so it seems. He is actually setting up a very elaborate scheme that involves quite a lot of very expendable computer hackers just to cover up the fact that he wants to steal some cash. When this little fact becomes known, you fully realise that you are watching a Die Hard Movie.
Live Free or Die Hard is the fourth installment in arguably the best action movie franchise ever seen and Die Hard 4.0 does not disappoint. It is full of the ingredients that we have come to love about the Die Hard movies. You have very intelligent, well-dressed, charismatic bad guys, John McClane getting more beat up and dirty as the film progresses (his distinctive white muscle vest is missing this time round) and thieves posing as terrorists. All of this is fairly familiar ground for the Die Hard movies; however, at no time does it seem unoriginal or clichéd, instead making you feel a little bit nostalgic as you enjoy the watching the unbelievable stunts interlaced with the odd sarcastic comments from the man himself, John McClane and his particularly sassy daughter.
There is the odd nod to the other Die Hard movies to keep the movie geeks happy. You have a Special Agent Johnson, (no relation), a brilliant cameo from Kevin Smith, and a couple of very obvious Star Wars references.
In short, Die Hard 4.0 is funny, action packed and has moved with the times. John McClane has never let us down...

Movie is an incredible action film, but WS Unrated DVD is lacking January 4, 2008
The fourth installment of the franchise is a great action film for any fan of the genre. There's plenty in there for both the newcomer to the series and for those that have been there from the start. There are all the usual clichés and plot holes and the like, but that should be expected for this style of film. The film would be rated a five star, but I deducted a star on this review because I'm reviewing the WS Unrated DVD product, too. The reason follows.
The version of the WS Unrated DVD (single disc) sold on Amazon.ca does not have the Music Video: "Die Hard" Performed by Guyz Nite, nor the Behind the Scenes with Guyz Nite Featurette (which are both listed on the back of the DVD case). It also does not include the trailers listed on the official site for the DVD (other than the Die Hard Collection trailer) but does have the commentary. If you are like me, you may spend a lot of time moving through the menus to see if there was something you missed. Don't look, it's not there. If you think you are going to get any extras other than the commentary, you will not. The DVD contains that, the theatrical and unrated versions of the movie and the single Die Hard Collection trailer. Either there are multiple versions of the WS Unrated DVD out there, or they made a change after the initial release and cut out a bunch of the extras for subsequent printings. I thought it would be nice to warn other purchasers of this, so I hope it helps. There's always the Collector's Edition for die-hard fans. ;)
McLane back in fine form! December 8, 2007
This fourth installment of the Die Hard franchise is way better than any of us probably expected it to be. After all, the last entry, "Die Hard with a vengeance" was quite weak and has aged horribly through the years. To say this film is action-packed would be a major understatement. From the first frame to the last, it doesn't let up. Bruce Willis' character does some superhuman stunts in this one and as such it's definitely the most implausible entry. But so what? It's fun, and if you haven't already seen this CGI-free back to the old school actioner you need to do so now.
